Hello,

this series convers the drivers below drivers/net/can to the
.remove_new() callback of struct platform_driver(). The motivation is to
make the remove callback less prone for errors and wrong assumptions.
See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for a more detailed rationale.

All drivers already returned zero unconditionally in their
.remove() callback, so converting them to .remove_new() is trivial.

Hi Uwe,

I like these changes and they all look good to me.
However, I have a question, perhaps more directed at the netdev
maintainers than yourself.

In principle patch-sets for netdev should not include more than 15 patches.
It's unclear to me if, on the basis of that, this patchset should
be split up. Or if, f.e. given the simple nature of the patches,
an exception applies in this case. Or something else.

I have no fixed opinion on this.
But I feel that the question should be asked.

...

I now realise this series is for can.
Which I assume means the guidance above doesn't apply.

Sorry for the noise.

That's still a good point, because sooner or later Uwe will probably
also convert the platform drivers to Driver/Network/Ethernet.

...in driver/net/ethernet.
